Sasha Velour’s “Nightgowns” will change the way you see drag

admin, , , ,

After eight years and many international tours, Sasha Velour’s NYC show is “where you come to see the good drag.” Words by Mikelle Street Photography by Alexey Kim   The audience at Le Poisson Rouge was completely silent for four and a half minutes. They watched with rapt attention, practically frozen, with just a few phones held up. At the center of the stage before them was Julie J, her body caked in black paint, slowly and almost painstakingly rising to her feet, then lowering again as the haunting falsetto…

Drag Race UK vs the World: We give this “immersive experience” a boot

admin, , , ,

Major spoilers ahead for the third episode of Drag Race UK vs the World. Ahh, we were on such a winning streak with the second season of Drag Race UK vs the World. The first two episodes boasted some pretty accurate judging (a concept we love), fun challenges (samey-samey, but they worked) and tremendous runways (La Grande Dame’s Alien-inspired She-Vil look… still thinking about her). And compared to season one, the eliminations have been fair. Hard, because we want to see more of these legendary queens (and their runway package),…

‘I can write clever s**t’: Drag Race star Megami reveals Snatch Game character

admin, , , ,

After sashaying away from Drag Race season 16, Megami has revealed who she would have portrayed in the franchise’s staple challenge, the Snatch Game. The Brooklyn queen was the fifth to be eliminated after failing to impress the panel in ‘The Sound of Rusic’. Megami found herself in the bottom two with Mhi’ya Iman Le’Paige, where the pair dualed it out in a lip-sync to Grammy winning single ‘Flowers’ by Miley Cyrus. In the following episode, the nine remaining queens showcased their best celebrity impressions as they went head-to-head in…

Drag Race: Jelena Karleuša responds to Plane Jane’s Snatch Game

admin, , , ,

Serbian singer Jelena Karleuša has broken her silence over Plane Jane’s impersonation on Drag Race.  On this week’s episode, the nine remaining contestants of season 16 flexed their improvisation skills as they participated in the franchise’s staple maxi-challenge, Snatch Game. This time around, a handful of the beloved batch of queens took on niche or original characters to try and impress Mama Ru.  One contestant who stepped out of the box with her impersonation character was Jane, who went as the Serbian superstar Karleuša.  “Jelena is a Serbian pop superstar.…

What scheme does Plane Jane have in mind for her immunity potion?

admin, , , ,

This week’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race is a show staple. For the Mini Challenge the library was open (Xunami Muse, deservedly, won) and for the Maxi Challenge it was time for Snatch Game. As everyone always describes it, this is the challenge that separates the wheat from the chaff, the serious contenders from the girls just waiting to go home.  And that it did … sort of. There is typical Werk Room hemming and hawing over impersonation choices: RuPaul seems wary of Nymphia Wind who sticks with her choice…

Drag Race star Adore Delano shares heartwarming update after coming out as trans

admin, , , ,

Drag Race star Adore Delano has shared an update regarding her transition in a heartwarming post.  Back in July 2023, the beloved talent publically came out as a trans woman in an emotional video posted to her Instagram account.  “I wanted to let everybody know that I am transitioning and I kept it really, kind of hush-hush the first three months because I wanted to go through the beginning stages of the puberty privately,” she explained. “I’ve found that it’s been very enlightening and has made me probably the happiest…

Drag Race UK: Jonbers Blonde reflects on “confusing” challenge

admin, , , ,

Drag Race star Jonbers Blonde lets rip on the ‘confusing’ UK vs the World challenge that sent her home and her wild plans for Snatch Game.

Drag Race star Megami doesn’t hold back as she discusses season 16 ‘frustrations’

admin, , , ,

Megami has spoken out about her departure from Drag Race season 16 and how her “Brooklyn spice” fuelled her “frustration” towards other queens in Untucked. In the latest episode of Drag Race, the queens partook in ‘The Sound of Rusic’, before sashaying down the runway in ‘I Could Buy Myself Flowers’ eleganza. Adam Shankman joined the panel as guest judge and Melissa McCarthy made a special guest appearance. Unfortunately, Megami was unable to land a leading comic role that would have better aligned with her skillset, having lost her desired…

Drag Race UK vs the World’s Arantxa dishes about her scrapped talent show idea

admin, , , ,

Arantxa Castilla-La Mancha almost presented a very different talent show performance on Drag Race UK vs the World. For the second episode of the beloved UK-based series, the queens were tasked with making three sickening looks for the ‘Happy Ending Ball,’ with the last category, ‘Drags to Riches Eleganza’, requiring them to construct a gown fit for a princess from scraps of used fabric. Unfortunately, Arantxa failed to impress the judges’ panel with her ensembles, resulting in her bottom placement alongside Choriza May.  After La Grande Dame and Keta Minaj’s…

Is Drag Race preparing for a Broadway musical run?

admin, , , ,

On the latest episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race, the queens are faced with the Maxi Challenge of competing in a Rusical. It’s a time honored tradition on the series, farmed out even to international editions. This season it’s for The Sound of Rusic, inspired extremely loosely by The Sound of Music, and we have to ask: Is Drag Race hurtling toward an actual Broadway production? For the past few seasons, the show has been turning out some really solid stageplays. Madonna: The Unauthorized Rusical from season 12, Moulin Ru! The…
